CONTROL Resonant Hotfix 1.4.1 (Oct 2) — last patch
Answer: Hotfix 1.4.1 fixes two regressions from 1.4.0 (Remedy Help Center / Steam news):
- The Park Resonant quest — eating the Mold (required step) works again so the quest can progress.
- Dash → Elevate / Surge — dashing momentum into Elevate works again (1.4.0 movement fix had broken it).
Versions reported: PS5 01.400.100 · Xbox / PC 1.4.1.0. If The Park Mold-eat step is stuck, install 1.4.1 before troubleshooting further. Park Mold stories: New Growth.
CONTROL Resonant Update 1.4.0 — New Game++ patch notes (Oct 1)
Answer: Game Update 1.4.0 is the big October patch. Versions: PS5 01.400.000 · Xbox 1.4.0.0 · PC 1.4.0. Unofficial highlight summary from Remedy’s published notes — not every line of the full log.
Highlights
- New Game++ — infinite NG+ runs (launch NG+ was one extra clear only).
- Build Power shown on the Loadout screen (bottom left).
- HUD icon when The Gap has new buys / upgrades available.
- Pin needed materials → vendor icons on the map show if stocked.
- Unknown Zone — overall combat / intensity down about 10–15%.
- Assist Mode: Power Core Charge Duration multiplier 100–300%.
- Main menu save slots 5 → 7 (original run and NG+ folders stay separate).
- Radio dialogue volume slider; option to mute copyrighted intro music.
- PC performance work (min/recommended specs), HDR / DLSS FG / ultrawide fixes; DualSense + Razer haptics polish.
- Shield fixes: Wallet Artifact interaction + corrupted-shadow VFX when blocking explosives (Shield was not removed).
- Wide quest, audio, map-marker, crash, and polish fixes (incl. Last Taxi reward bug).
AMD also published optional drivers called out for PC performance / crash fixes — check AMD’s current driver notes if you are on Radeon. Platinum / NG+ mop-up: Trophies.
CONTROL Resonant hotfix 1.3.3 / patch notes (Sep 24)
Day-one hotfix 1.3.3 after early-access players and critics flagged early-game enemies as too tanky. Versions: PS5 01.300.300 (~350 MB reported) · Xbox 1.3.3.0 · PC 1.3.3-class.
- Combat: Lower base health and required Falter on most enemies, plus Resonant bosses Dancer and Deserter.
- Dylan power: Higher max Aberrant Strength and Ability Strength (curves up more as you unlock upgrades) — this is a buff, not a player “power nerf.”
- Buildcrafting: Permanently cheaper Reset Items; more vendor stock; The Artist drops two Reset Items.
- UI (English first): Aberrant Strength → “Damage and Falter X%”; clearer Build Power text.
- Assist Mode: Still under Gameplay options.
Systems context: combat loop · Gameplay.
Was power nerfed? Did Shield disappear?
Power nerfed? Day-one 1.3.3 reduced enemy tankiness and increased Dylan’s strength caps. 1.4.0 eased Unknown Zone combat ~10–15%. That is not a global player power nerf — if a fight feels worse, check Build Power vs zone level on the Loadout screen (shown after 1.4.0).
Shield disappeared? Shield remains an ability. 1.4.0 fixed Shield not respecting the Wallet Artifact and a corrupted-shadow trail when blocking explosives. If Shield “vanished,” re-check Loadout / ability equip and install 1.4.0+.
PC / Xbox large downloads & “won’t load after update”
PC Steam redownload (~90–92 GB): Day-one hotfix triggered a full Steam re-download for many who had preloaded. Remedy apologized publicly. Consoles were not hit with that full PC-scale reinstall (PS5 hotfix ~350 MB class).
Sep 30 / Xbox ~40 GB class downloads: Community reports of large mid/late-September console downloads usually mean the platform store is applying or re-packing the live update stack (1.3.3 and later 1.4.x), not a separate unannounced content drop. Exact MB/GB varies by platform delta — we do not invent a single “41 GB patch notes” SKU.
Won’t load / opens like a new game after update: Let the store finish the update, reboot the console/PC, verify Steam files if on PC, and confirm you are loading the correct save folder (1.4.0 separated original vs NG+ folders more clearly). If saves are missing, check cloud sync / another user profile before assuming wipe.
